Hi all,
is it possible that the hairs that grow after a clearance get thinner? I saw that on my chest where my GF was working and allso from some of my previous electrolysis sessions.
So my question is, is it possible not just to remove the hairs, but allso reduction of the diameter/change the color of the hairs that were not removed during the clearance?
It would be a great thing for example to thin out the hair on legs, or on chest and belly 
Not just to remove, would be a nice middle way.
Hi Miro I think that the hair that grows thinner may not have been killed properly. If the follicle is only injured it can still produce hair. The hair you see might also be new hair from the hair cycle. I suppose trying to injure the follicle rather than killing it isnât such a good idea because the follicle can recover and the hair might get thicker again over time. If you only want a reduction rather than be completely hair free then you can only do the first clearance and keep the new hair that grows due to the hair cycle.
When explaining how electrolysis works to clients, âsomeâ electrologists will say the (treated) hair will grow back finer. It might be their own understanding of it, or it might be their way of letting the client know it takes a series of appointments. Dasha saf explains it well.
It is a fact that we have all kinds (diameters) of hair that grow. This picture contains the hairs I removed today from a client - these hairs were all âneighborsâ in a 1/2 inch circle.

Thanks Barbara for the great photos and âright to the pointâ explanation.
There is a LOT to explain about what clients observe with all types of hair removal procedures. âSeeing is believing,â but what you believe is not necessarily factual. (Iâve always thought that âseeing is believingâ is a stupid âold sayingâ anyway.)
Consider that a smaller hair is rendered nearly invisible in a âforestâ of gigantic hairs. If you are shaving (or tweezing), this literally makes the smaller hairs disappear as you focus on the âtimber.â Once the âtimberâ is cleared away, âoh my Godâ you now see the smaller hairs that were there all the time.
One client from Georgia named this the âSequoia Effect.â In this case he only wanted the âbig hairsâ removed. However, once the big hairs were removed, he now saw the smaller hairs as the âSequoiasâ ⌠and so on, until everything got zapped.
Yep, there used to be all kinds of nonsense like the âbreaking down processâ that said ONE hair had to be treated 6 or 7 times, would become âthinner and thinnerâ and then finally be removed forever. Lots of our colleagues were taught such fairy tales in school too. Some of them still believe it?
To add my 2 cents: I havenât noticed hairs becoming thinner after electro except for one area. Hair on the scalp. I had about 15 hairs removes on my hairline(the pointy âwidows peakâ as itâs called) and the regrowth was thinner than before, I think. But it may have to do with hair on the scalp being different than body hair. Maybe Michael can touch on that.
A good example is found here:

On the neck of a guy, the hair looks much lighter like before the clearance.
The thickness of the hairs is allways the same, or the hairs change their thickness according to the growth stage?
